Hi there peeps, do any off you know which elephant ornaments are supposed to face ??

Question

I heard somewhere once that they are either supposed to face a door or vice versa n I can't remember which way. Supposedly lucky or stopping evil or some such twaddle. Curiousity has the better of me at the moment though so if one of you could help I would be eternally grateful, oh ok maybe not that grateful but I will give you 10 points :o)

Answer 1

They should be facing away from an entrance to indicate that they are entering a good place if they face a door it's supposed to mean that they want to leave meaning it is not a nice place

Answer 2

They are supposed to face the main entrance into the room. If it's the front room, they should face the front door; if it's a back room, they should face the back door. Always, it's the main entrance through which people come.

Answer 3

backsides face doors, windows and the room. That's how it's supposed to be, and for luck, too.
The more you have the more luck you're supposed to have, especially when the trunks up and curved and he's facing out or backwards.

Answer 4

East, and the ornaments are supposed to have their trunk in the air. I don't know how I know this. My head is full of useless information.

Answer 5

Never heard of that one. Stops evil, eh? Hell, put it against the door.

Answer 6

if sitting on a mantle or shelf they should be facing left to keep an eye out for the devil who always appears on the left...

Answer 7

they are not supposed to face an entrance or window it is bad kahma
good luck hun

Answer 8

to be 100% sure I would think you'd want to ask the elephant,what direction it prefers to face
